Due to Yom Kippur in Israel, the Belgium vs. Israel match will get things started today in Belgium. US Open Junior Champion Borna Coric will play in the singles for Croatia this weekend, as he is up against Andy Murray on Friday. Jerzy Janowicz pulled out from the Australia-Poland tie, having Michal Przysienzny as his alternate. I originally gave the edge to Poland, but at this point it's whoever wants it more and plays their best. Steve Darcis from Belgium is playing his first match since beating Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon in the first round. Darcis is scheduled to play 2 singles rubbers and the doubles rubber. USC's Emilio Gomez is playing in the singles for Ecuador, as they have a tough task of taking on Switzerland (without Roger Federer). Gomez will play Wawrinka on Friday.
Here are my picks for Friday's matches:
